OCS MEPS/ColorbindIssue

When I left MEPS they told me I was cleared. N33 reviewed my case and they said they couldn’t approve my case due to inadequate color vision. For consideration, that I have to submit a favorable color vision PIP test. I know I’m not colorblind by the way. I still followed their instructions and went to a private doctor and same thing there’s nothing wrong. A day later I submitted my paperwork to my recruiter he then submitted it to N33. How long does it take for them to review? My recruiter submitted it June 30th. And I know it’s holiday weekend the next week idk if that plays a factor. I reached out last week July 2nd Wednesday he told me no news yet. It’s July 7th now at least a week after submission. Should I just wait? How long does this usually take? He told me should be 1-3 days it’s been over that, I was just overthinking now. Trying to get my paper asap since I’m applying for September boards which the final submission for papers are due around this month.

First and foremost, relax. It was a holiday weekend last week and many folks went on leave. Surprise, recruiters are people too and need to spend time with families, etc.

Whats accurate timeframe about this issue for N33 to review the case and get cleared. Some on the forum got cleared the next day. Same issue with mine just a misdiagnosis.
